Pregnancy has done weird things to your fashion sense.

i KNOW!  it has also made me hate barbecue, which is equally distressing.

i'm trying to convince DH it's not insane for me to buy those sequin maternity leggings though, lol

On my way to DC for a drug policy conference and I'm nervous as hell. I'm on a roundtable with some major rock stars in my field and I sorta feel like I am not up to par. Luckily it's the very first session of the conference so I can get it over with early on, lol.

Pregnancy does that. I had a huge aversion to chicken when I was pregnant with my son. You will love BBQ again in about 8 months.

callmehales - the day I don't want bbq you better check my pulse. No to those Christmas leggings. You'll look like one of those children from the Hanna Anderson catalog.

Whenever I consider these, I remember that with that stretchy print I'd have a tiny snowflake on my ankle and huge snowflakes on my butt and stomach. Not cute, pregnant or no.

Good luck bimbi284! You'll do great!

One of the people I work closely with here in Jamaica is heading to DC to receive an award at a drug policy conference - I wonder if it is the same one! 

It is

[blondemoment123]

I want the Christmas leggings too. No shame.

[callmehales]

cab1217 you can be a mermaid, i'll have reindeer on my ass and WE WILL LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER,

[Deleted]

bimbi284, I seriously contimplated coming to DC to see you. So close but so far. Best of luck. You will kick ass.

callmehales, you must get the glitter leggings. I kind of want fair isle Christmas ones. And I hate printed leggings. I feel like you can do it for bumming around on Xmas.

@cab, no. Just no.

Well I bought Christmas leggings to wear to an event next month but I will probably wear them a few other times.  They're fur-lined and super cozy. #noregrets

These are adorable!!! Where from??

I also can't eat barbecue while pregnant. I think it is the smokiness.  It makes me want to gag.

Yes!!!!  I had a bite of my mom's Chipotle salsa a few weeks ago and wanted to spit it out. No smokey for me!!

I was a vegetarian before I POAS.  As soon as that thing blinked Pregnant I told DH to go out and get me bbq.  Brisket to be exact.  Also at 11 weeks I tried to eat a salad and puked it up.  Ha.  And now DS is the pickiest eater and won't touch bbq.  Maybe it was because I ate so much of it while I was pregnant.  Ha.

I was never a huge meat eater but with my first and now my second pregnancy I need all the protein.  I  still eat salad but I love meat now.  We have an amazing Brazilian steakhouse in town that we went to for our anniversary a couple of months ago. It was amazing. If I could, I would go there once a week.  I have increased my burger consumption.  That has been fun!

cab1217 step away from the mermaid leggings!

Confession #1: I cannot get it up for printed leggings. Unless they are fun workout leggings to wear to run/workout with stripes or something lol

Confession #2 I LOVE Christmas but half of the people I know on FB/IG need to GTFO here with the Christmas pjs, Christmas tree, Santa mugs and Christmas decor pics. Again, I can't wait for Xmas and love it but can we eat the damn turkey first?! It's a week away people, you WILL survive if you wait! I feel like people have literally just skipped over Thanksgiving this year. More so than in the past.

But thanksgiving is  SO FREAKING LATE this year!!! Its not so  bad when its the 3Rd week, but the very end of rhe month is brutal.  Im dying for turkey AND christmas carols.  We've  started putting lights up (not turned on) because if we dont, we'll  only have them for like 3 weeks.

I've gained weight and it was apparent in our family pictures. I have a fucking double chin in some of the pictures. This not running business is killing me.

I'm on a mission tomorrow to find outfits for my dog's to wear in their Christmas photos. I'm considering a scarf for the golden. He's hard to fit.

I just bought my boston hanna andersson pajamas. I am getting  him a bow tie too from Pecan Puppies but can't decide.

OMG this so much!

We don't put our tree up until mid-December, the horror. But it stays up until mid-January since DH is Russian Orthodox and Russian Christmas is January 7th. Plus we get a live tree so if we get it too early it is a fire hazard by January.

I went to Nordstrom and lulu today but all I could find was a top and bra and belly cream and a jo Malone candle. Pregnancy is harshing my style!

I am here with you.  I keep on buying stuff for post baby when I assume I am back to my same pre baby size.  This may be delusional!

Christmas leggings are cute, if worn for the right occasion. Work? No. Lounging at home on the couch? Sure. Date night? Probably night. A fun casual holiday party? Definitely. I hate printed bottoms on myself otherwise I'd be all over them.
